  • Spring Break Amtrak Trip March 12-19, 2010 Day 1 – March 12, 2010 in November, the Iowa State Railroad Club Discussed The
    Spring Break Amtrak Trip March 12-19, 2010 Day 1 – March 12, 2010 In November, the Iowa State Railroad Club discussed the idea of taking a train trip for our spring club trip. Before Christmas break, we had booked tickets for a trip from Osceola, Iowa; to Sacramento, California; to Seattle, Washington; and back to Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. In Sacramento, we would visit the California State Railroad Museum. In the end, a total of ten people went on this train trip. Participants from the club included Cliff Cessna, Brian Bauer, Ben Hucker, Nathan Smith, and Patrick Johnson. The other five participants were invited along. Ben and Cliff are currently taking a class in Railroad Engineering (CE 515) and the professor, Dr. Reg Souleyrette, expressed interest in going on the trip. As it turned out, Dr. Souleyrette and his family (wife Rosemary, two children Jackie and David, and mother-in-law “Grandma” Ruth) went on the trip as well. We departed Ames just before 6:00PM for Osceola, Iowa, where we were to catch the westbound Amtrak train #5, the California Zephyr, with a scheduled departure of 8:09PM. We arrived at the Amtrak station just after 7:00PM to find it completely packed. Several dozen people (close to 100) got on the train, most of them headed to Colorado, presumably for a spring break ski trip. The train arrived about 25 minutes late and made two separate stops to load passengers, first the sleepers, then the coaches. We finally departed at 8:49PM, 40 minutes late. Due to the limited availability of sleepers, Nathan rode in coach on this train.
